This is just Kelly playing head games with Vick to make him think he must earn it like Kelly would do while coaching in college. It’s a business in the NFL and the money puts Vick in as the starter. Foles may never start in the NFL for that matter.

Kelly is a real tool and will coach like it’s college football making it very entertaining for the rest of the NFL to watch. Duck Dynasty has arrived!

Are you talking about the playoff game against GB when he intercepted away the chance to win at the end? Or the 2 games in 2010 when he played well? The dude is a career disappointment.

3 years ago is a lifetime in the NFL. I think you forget Shawn Alexander. NFL MVP one year, out of football the next. Vick has always been mediocre except for a couple of games 3 years ago when the league hadn’t adjusted to him yet. After Minnesota in 2010, the turnover machine has been in full production. He was in a system that made Steve Young, Joe Montana, Jeff Garcia, John Elway & Brett Favre stars & Vick sucked in it. He’ll never be a big game QB. Trust me =o)

Wrong – Vick was never judged by a jury of his peers. He didn’t have the onions to go to trial because he knew that he would have gotten a lot more than 23 months. Vick never did ONE DAY for the animal abuse, he got off easy! He plea bargained down to a much lesser charge because the prosecutor on the case was a family friend that had once defended his father in a private practice before becoming a prosecutor. The whole thing was a custom solution for someone that has been & will always be treated special in the state of Virginia.

As for others pasts, it’s safe to say most people do not get off torturing animals for fun which is exactly what Mikey did for SIX years. So to say that others pasts are relevant is blind loyalty to MV7.

Maybe know what you are talking about before you post??

Foles does not fit the Oregon-style offense. Then again, who said that Kelly is going to run the Oregon offense in Philly? The speed differential between skill players is smaller in the NFL because everyone is faster, so I’m suspecting that the Eagles are going to be more diverse than a standard read-option, reverse v. student body right kind of team.

Kelly wants speed from his QBs… but not RUNNING speed, speed in the ability to make a decision, get rid of the ball, and get back to the line to run another play ASAP. Michael Vick DOES NOT POSSESS THESE SKILLS. Reports from OTAs were that Vick could get off 4 plays in the time that even Barkley could get off 6 or 7, and Foles was matching Barkley. Vick can’t read a defense. You need to read the defense to make a quick decision and get rid of the ball.

People talk about Chip Kelly’s offense as though they know exactly what it’ll look like. He’s really innovative, and I suspect he’ll do some unique things in the NFL. It definitely won’t be a dumbed down college spread offense.

Also, Nick Foles ran the read-option at UofArizona. And he did it well. Mobility isn’t the main qualification for running that offense…reading defenses is. So why would anyone think Vick would be better suited for this?

Tue, 02 Jul 2013 23:34:42 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2194660#comment-2632805Considering that Vick has been no better than average at the QB position, maybe the Eagles can make a reciever out of him or something?

Imagine if Rex Grossman had sold that much NFL gear and made that much cash playing? Grossman is a better QB than vick, and Grossman has to buy his own shoes.

I still don’t understand how any fan of the game can think Vick is something special. I also do not understand how he is still in the league. I guess a 1st round pick is worth something to someone no matter how bad they are. Mandrich played 4 or 5 seasons and was never any good once he found out he could not get away with juicing in the pros.

Just because you think Vick should do a life sentence for dog fighting doesn’t mean Napoleon Dynamite is a good football player. He had 6TD’s and 11 turnovers. He was a miracle penalty flag from going 0-6 as a starter. Chip Kelly’s 2014 starting QB is not currently on the roster. If you believe Foles is the starter, you’re dumber than Gronkowski , who is subsequently the dumbest player in the NFL.

The sooner the Eagles dump Vick, the better off they will be. He’s a horrible human being and his QB skills are not great. I don’t care where he plays after the Eagles but whatever team signs him will be for a distraction without much in the way of upside.

Tue, 02 Jul 2013 21:05:31 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2194660#comment-2632565Anyone who is an Eagles fan and/or actually follows the Eagles (Like me) knows that this competition is dead even at the moment. The players have said it, and the media who have seen what they can have reported it.

It has also been reported that Kelly’s offense cannot be described and doesn’t fit any label. So if you’re just plugging in Vick because “it fits what Kelly does” you’re wrong. I don’t know where the evidence for that is considering Kelly has coached 0 NFL games so far.

Finally, Kelly has said this over and over again, that he needs a quarterback that can read a defense, get rid of the ball quickly, and not make mistakes. Michael Vick can’t do any of those things. Kelly has also stated that he doesn’t need a mobile QB. So go ahead, plug Vick into Kelly’s offense that you’ve never seen before.

In my opinion Foles wins this job. It doesn’t mean he’s the future the franchise, it doesn’t mean the Eagles will be good this year. It means Vick stinks, which he does.

Vick has never had to compete for his job before. It was his when his career started, and he fell into it after Kolb was injured, granting him the job in 2011 and 2012 with no questions asked. However 2011 and 2012 he played poorly. Offensive line is a poor excuse because the line was healthy in 2011. He has to compete, isn’t clearly winning, and publicly saying he wants Kelly to name a starter.

Doesn’t sound like a sure pencil in, sounds like someone is afraid of losing their job. So yeah, it’s valid to consider his options if he does lose the job. He thinks he is an elite QB and will want a trade for sure.

Tue, 02 Jul 2013 20:22:20 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2194660#comment-2632486As Chip has seen from watching film, Vick will never be able to make the quick read, set protection, hot route receivers & play the QB spot with the needed consistency.

Vick is a over-hyped turnover machine that has always been an entitled mediocre QB at best. His entire Eagle career is made of 2 games. If you honestly & un-biasedly look at the stats from after the Minnesota game in 2010, the real Vick started to show up. That game started the turnover onslaught that has continued 2011 & 2012.

The people that keep bringing up 2010 always conveniently forget how he had a chance to win & in the playoffs against GB & intercepted the game away. Always a disappointment, never a student of the game, thinks he better than he is & has relied on athleticism way too much & never evolved into a real NFL QB. It’s about time for the MV7 era to end in Philly, Dennis Dixon can’t be much worse!
